The TV spin-off of Mark Wahlberg's film Shooter has been put on ice after a sniper killed police officers overseeing a peace rally in Dallas, Texas last week.

The first episode of the new program, which opens with the sound of a gunshot and real-life images of historical incidents of gun violence, was scheduled to air on America's USA network on July 19, but executives have pushed the premiere back a week in light of the Texas tragedy.

A statement from the network reads: "In light of recent tragic events and out of respect for the victims, their families and our viewers, we have decided to postpone the premiere date for the upcoming USA Network series Shooter to July 26."

Sniper and former Army Reserve soldier Micah Johnson was heavily armed when he opened fire on cops monitoring a Black Lives Matter demonstration on Thursday. Five police officials were killed, while seven others were injured.

The Shooter TV series - the small screen adaptation of Wahlberg's 2007 action film - stars Ryan Phillippe as an ex-Marine sniper, wrongly accused of a crime, who is attempting to clear his name and return to his family.

Executive produced by Wahlberg, the series also stars Omar Epps and Tom Sizemore.

Shooter hit headlines last week, when Sizemore reportedly ran over a stuntman with a car while filming a scene for the show.
According to TMZ, the Saving Private Ryan star was behind the wheel of a Cadillac SUV for a scene being shot at the Agua Dulce Airport in Santa Clarita, California when a stunt co-ordinator reportedly told the actor to "pull out" once he got in the driver's seat. The actor's representative claims the star followed instructions, put the car in reverse and drove away, but did not see the stuntman standing near the car.

Sources claim eight people attempted to lift the car off the unnamed victim, and he was finally released after a jack was used to free the man, who was airlifted to a nearby hospital.

The first black woman to win the title of Miss Alabama has been put on administrative leave from her TV station after calling the Dallas gunmen who killed police five officers a "martyr."
Kalyn Chapman James broke through the race barrier of Miss Alabama in 1993.
In a controversial Facebook Live video on Sunday, she said: "I can't stop replaying the image of these men being killed in my mind and my heart weeps, but I think more than anything I'm dealing with a bit of guilt because," she said, pausing to cry. "I don't feel sad for the officers that lost their lives. And I know that that's really not my heart - I value human life and I want to feel sad for them - but I can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr."
WPBT2, Miami's PBS affiliate, where James hosts a TV arts program called Art Loft, put her on administrative leave.
"WPBT2 South Florida PBS does not condone the personal statements made by one of its independent contractors regarding the events in Dallas," the station said in a statement Monday, adding it will look "further into the matter and will determine additional course of actions."
The Miss Alabama organization has also distanced itself from James, noting that it's been nearly a quarter century since she was crowned.
Since the video went viral, James said on Facebook that she is "being threatened, harassed and called awful names."
Of the Dallas gunman, she said: "Micah Johnson is NOT a hero."
"I do not condone violence against anyone - I am against violence," she wrote. "I would like to see an end to black on black crime, white on white crime, black on white crime, white on black crime, ALL killing needs to stop!"
In an interview with WPMI, the NBC affiliate in her hometown of Mobile, James sadi she regretted the word choice.
"Maybe 'martyr' wasn't the right word, but it was what came to mind at that time," she said.
